Incredible Years - Toddlers Programme

The Incredible Years programme supports parents to feel less stressed and become more confident in managing their child’s behaviour. The group provides the opportunity to meet other parents and learn positive parenting strategies to help reduce negative behaviours and increase positive child behaviours. This course is for parents who want to strengthen their relationship with their child and get the best behaviour out of their children. Parents receive a weekly call by the facilitators to help put ideas into practice at home.
